Script to restart service

One of our services seems to be freezing almost daily. We will be upgrading
the server in a few weeks which should take care of the problem but until
then I was wondering if there is a way to setup a script that would
automatically restart the service whenever it stops. Were using NT4.
Thanks.

Here is a sample. Modify as needed:

You can start a batch from the AT service:

at HH:MM "C:\Folder\batch.bat"
where HH:MM is 2 minutes in the future.

Assuming the service display name is "my service", batch.bat could contain:

@echo off
setlocal

:loop

@ping -n 61 127.0.0.1>nul
set OK=N
for /f "Tokens=*" %%a in ('net start^|FIND /I "my service"') do (
set OK=Y
)
if "%OK%" EQU "Y" goto loop
net start "my service"
goto loop
